Instrumentation unknown; see below, Comments. The earliest entry on WorldCat is a recording from "[196-?] is for voice and orchestra. But since this seems to have been first published in 1920. Further, the uploader feels that "It's a popular Brazilian song, and is most likely that it was originally composed without score (from the oral tradition), and diffused by different ways and popular instrumental formations, persisting the song aspect and lyrics."
